Abstract

Sustained and effective youth outreach in the geosciences hinges on the ability to secure reliable funding and develop a sustainable financial model. This talk aims to provide comprehensive insights into successful fundraising strategies for youth outreach programs. By bringing together educators, outreach coordinators, researchers, and professionals with a wealth of experience in developing and executing youth outreach initiatives, we will explore the multifaceted approaches needed to secure and sustain funding from various sources.

This presentation emphasizes measurable outcomes and lessons learned from successful programs, providing attendees with practical tools and strategies they can implement in their own outreach efforts. Attendees will leave inspired and equipped with the knowledge to actively contribute to the development and execution of impactful youth outreach programs in the geosciences.
